One thing that no one is really talking about in all this (and seems to be going way over Terry Bradshaw's big bald head, as well as a few others) is that what Drew did was actually a very CHRISTIAN and caring thing to do, not for himself or his ego but for Payton, Vitt and Loomis, just as people he loves....in Christianity we don't throw away our sinners, we don't shun them, we forgive them and love them and try and restore them. Jesus himself went and hung out with the sinners and the lowest of people, and loved them and said "no, we are not going to abandon you, you have sinned and that's not cool, but you can become good again if you just do X, Y, and Z, then you can find your way back to us"

If Sean Payton is really so big bad and evil as some people (Goodell) say he is, or want us to believe he is, then this is an important step in his rehabilitation, to show that he is still welcome to be a part of the community, that people in his life still care about him, that Drew as a Christian is not giving up on Payton, or any of those three guys for that matter.

Drew is a smart man. He didn't just invite Payton and Vitt and loomis to see him break the record, he invited them to help spark a troubled and struggling team. You don't think they played a little harder knowing the bosses were at the game.
